Title: Process and apparatus for treating gas streams
IPC: F23J15/02
Filed: 1964-03-26
Abstract: 1,060,776. Removal of solid particles from gases. HOOKER CHEMICAL CORPORATION. March 26, 1964 [April 8, 19631, No. 13018/64. Heading B1R. A gas is treated to remove at least the solid of particle size less than 5Á by forming the solid into a liquid-solid aerosol of particle size greater than 5Á and passing the gas with the entrained aerosol through a foraminous material of whole size greater than 5Á while washing the two surfaces of the material with a liquid, preferably at one surface in concurrent with the inward-flowing gas and at the other in counter current to the discharged gas. Gases which may be treated include those resulting from the combustion of fine coal which contain "fly ash" and those produced by the combustion of halogenated organic materials comprising carbon dioxide, hydrogen halide and finely-divided iron chloride or oxide. The purification is of particular application to the gas produced when a halogenated organic material is completely combusted with oxygen and hydrogen in a furnace. In this case hydrogen halide is preferably absorbed from the gas stream before passage through the foraminous material. The latter may be a pad or bed of woven or knitted metallic or plastic filaments e.g. stainless steel, nickel, aluminium, copper, brass, tantalum, nylon, polyesters, acrylic fibres PTFE fibres, fibreglass, or particularly polyethylene in the process where halogenated organic material is burned. The washing liquid is preferably water at both surfaces; dilute sodium hydroxide may be used at the gas-entry surface if desired. Formation of the aerosol may be effected by contacting the gas stream with a spray of liquid, e.g. water. As shown, gaseous combustion products with entrained solid matter discharged from a furnace, Figure 1 (not shown), pass to a direct contact cooler 26 fitted with water spray 27 and thence to absorber 18 through which water is passed and by means of draft fan 19 through chamber 25 and pad 21 which is sprayed on either side with liquid from nozzles 22. The cleaned gas stream is discharged to the atmosphere through outlet 24.

Patent GB-703441-A (GB)
Title: Process for the production of hydrogen/carbon dioxide mixtures
IPC: C01B3/16
Filed: 1951-06-05
Abstract: Carbon dioxide and hydrogen are produced by passing a mixture of steam and carbon monoxide preferably at atmospheric pressure and below 400 DEG C. over an iron oxide catalyst which oxide consists mainly of gamma-Fe2O3, or an oxide of a lower oxidation stage of gamma-Fe2O3.  The catalyst may be prepared from <FORM:0703441/III/1> which has been precipitated from an equimolecular mixture of a ferric and a ferrous salt.  The precipitate is converted to gamma-Fe2O3 by heating to a temperature below 330 DEG C. Alternatively alpha Fe2O3 may be reduced to Fe3O4 and this oxidized below 330 DEG C. to alpha Fe2O3.  The addition of chromium oxide retards conversion of gamma to alpha Fe2O3 and chromium containing catalysts may be heated to 480 DEG C.  The chromium may be added to the mixture of the iron salts, to be precipitated therewith, or added to the precipitate, preferably as ammonium chromate or bichromate.  If desired, potassium bichromate may be added to a ferrous salt solution acidified with sulphuric acid giving a chromium-containing mixture of ferric and ferrous sulphate which is precipitated and heated to below 480 DEG C.  The catalyst, which under operating conditions is converted to Fe3O4, may be regenerated by heating in air or oxygen below 330 DEG C.
